What Trainwork teaches.
Every learner gets 6 core skills and 9 electives chosen for their role, 3 coached conversations each. This is the full catalog those electives are drawn from, with the title of every conversation in it.
The shape of it
The 6 core skills every employee gets.
Nobody trades these away. They decide whether AI is useful to a person at all, and one of them stops someone pasting something they should not have. Each is mapped to a competency in the U.S. Department of Labor AI literacy framework.
